Just another manic Monday...
My "transition" week is at an end. It's Monday and time for me to start getting back into some kind of work routine again... gotta make sure I continue my income stream so I can stay here in beautiful (albeit cloudy and gray again today) Paris.
I've got a "to do" list as long as my arm: phone calls to make, clients to connect with, and must take the time to refresh my memory about a variety of projects I left in a state of suspended animation ten days ago. It's the post-vacation reentry that's always the hardest, isn't it? That couple of days after you've been on holiday and now have to shake it off and try to remember what the hell you were doing before you left? Because I'm perpetually juggling a wide variety of projects with my writing and web design businesses, I always worry that I'm forgetting someone or something as I work on reconnecting myself with the world.
So the next couple of days are definitely going to be "working days" for The Bold Soul. I've got everything I need here at the apartment and if I run out of something like milk, there are two stores right at the end of the block. Sightseeing will have to wait until the end of the week.
But in the back of my mind, I'm already thinking: What can I do or see this week that I haven't seen before in Paris, or even that I have seen but not fully enough? There is so much to choose from: the Louvre? Roaming the ancient Marais district? Walking along the Canal St. Martin? Or perhaps a stroll through Père Lachaise cemetery or a visit to Montmartre? The Luxembourg Gardens? The Pantheon?
Musée d'Orsay? Trocodero? Galleries Lafayette? The mind reels, there are so many choices!
Paris is like a buffet... so much to choose from, but realistically you know you can't eat it all. At least, not in one sitting.
